Mayor Bloomberg on barry’s date night

June 1, 2009

Mayor Bloomberg didn’t find anything wrong with barry’s date night because the president doesn’t make that much money and, ya know, he’s on a budget, too. No kidding. He’s enamored with barry, He’s got that glazed-eyed look.

RNC criticized the Obamas for having a night on the town while Americans are still struggling to pay bills.

MAYOR BLOOMBERG:

That criticism is so off-base, I wouldn’t even mention it, even take it seriously. I thought it was more pro forma.

We’re ecstatic to have the Obamas come here. I can’t think of anything better as an advertisement for tourism industry, for Broadway, for our restaurants, for saying that this is a safe city and an affordable city.

The President doesn’t get paid that much. He’s on a budget, too.

The fact that we have to have a large security detail is just a fact of life when the president moves.

But the president has to set an example for the rest of the country…crisis of confidence.

And the fact that the Obamas are out there, sharing in what’s wonderful about America — the theater, Broadway, freedom of travel, meeting people – I think is just great, so I would love to have the Obamas come back here as much as they want.

It does cost us a little extra in security, but given the advertising value of having the President and the First Lady come here is worth many times over that. It’s a very good deal for us.

Besides being an absolutely ludicrous statement – he may be on a budet but he didn’t foot the bill for the entire date. Tickets and maybe dinner but nothing else. And Mr Transparency’s mouthpiece Mr Gibbs refused to answer how much the date cost.
